Useful information
You can set speed from 57 to 1300 rpm with the
50 Hz (mains frequency) and speed from 69 to
1560 rpm with the 60 Hz (mains frequency). The
unit may heats up during use. The ample cooling
surfaces on the motor serve to distribute and radi-
ate the heat as evenly as possible.
You can also use large mixing vessels together with
IKA
®
stands without any problem.
The unit comes without a connection cable be-
cause the user’s installation means that it is not
possible to issue a standard length cable due to
the different sizes of premises. Experts can deter-
mine the pin assignment from the wiring plan.
The output shaft is not designed as a hollow shaft
and allows inserting the stirring element until it
stops. It is important to ensure that the stirrer
shank is securely clamped in the chuck.
Drive
The motor can be infinitely adjusted via a friction
wheel drive unit but is operated in one position
only. The power output, rotational speed and
torque of the motor are regarded as constant and
are optimized for this operating position. After
the friction wheel drive the motor power output
is transmitted to the output shaft of the stirrer via
either the first or second stage of the subsequent
manually adjustable toothed gear train.
Neglecting all losses, the power at the output shaft
during power transmission (conversion) is always as
great as the power output of the motor. The gear
train merely provides rpm and torque conversion,
which can be described in purely theoretical terms
by the characteristic curve plotted in
Fig. 2
.
Friction wheel wear is kept low by a helical clutch
matched to the gear train. The down-pressure re-
quired at the friction wheel is adjusted by the helical
clutch according to the moment acting on the stirrer
shaft. A low torque results in a low down-pressure;
a high torque results in a high down pressure.
